Faraday Predictive S200: world-leading switchgear-mounted condition monitoring and energy monitoring system for rotating equipment
Monitor your energy consumption and equipment condition 24×7 with the Faraday Predictive S200 system, and enable the adoption of Condition-Based Maintenance in your organisation.
Designed to be mounted inside your motor starter cabinet, the S200 provides you with a continuous, 24×7, assessment of your equipment health including mechanical, electrical and operational aspects, using a Model-Based Voltage and Current (MBVI) technique.
By simply measuring the voltage and current drawn by the motor driving your equipment it can identify a wide range of specific failure modes, and assess the degree to which the equipment is suffering from these effects.
It also measures energy consumption and identifies a range of energy wasting parameters, assessing the amount of energy wasted by each one, allowing you to take cost-justified action to reduce energy consumption.
The outputs from the unit can be displayed anywhere on your Ethernet network using the Faraday Predictive native software, which includes in-depth diagnostic analysis tools; or communicate measured values and automated diagnostic outputs via your ethernet network for display into your existing systems (eg DCS / operators control panels, Plant Historians like OSI PI, Wonderware Historian / Condition Manager, Bently Nevada System 1 etc).
Faults identified include:
- Mechanical unbalance/misalignment
- Bearing problems
- Foundation looseness
- Transmission looseness or rubbing
- Motor rotor bars
- Motor stator problems
- Electrical odd harmonics
- Electrical even harmonics
- Any other spectrum peak beyond the normal expected values
In addition, it provides information on the electrical parameters, including:
- Active power, reactive power and power factor
- Voltage balance
- Current balance
- Voltage THD
- Current THD
If more detailed machine specific information is available, such as individual bearing type codes, the number of vanes on a pump, or the ratios of transmission systems, then the system will automatically identify any problems associated with these, and report on them specifically.
But if you don’t have this information, the unit will still function well using generic fault parameters instead.
If you are interested in an S200 installation, and want a complete package price and ordering description, send us a little information on the motors you want to monitor (voltage, current, line driven or inverter driven, is there an existing motor protection system in place) and we’ll get back to you with a comprehensive quote covering all of the hardware, software, and associated services for a full implementation.
Information on different options for communicating the information from the S200s to end users can be found here.
If you think S200 sounds interesting but you want to see the evidence of the results that can be achieved on your own machines, the P100 is a portable equipment health assessor that works in the same way as the S200. You connect it temporarily to your switchgear using the spring clamp connectors that are part of the kit, and within a few minutes, the system will give you an automated report on the condition of your equipment.
If you just want to get started using the P100 kit – buy one here.
